[Game Thread] Lord Windos’ PokeRole Adventure 2: The Wild Lands

[Lord Windos]

Darren makes his way to an active Pokemon Center to meet up with Aaron

Spoiler

With some quick coordinating and generous use of the local mapping app, you manage to meet up with your mentor at a Center near the bar you just visited. Pushing past the notably large and anxious crowd, you hardly have a second to look around before Aaron is upon you, gripping your shoulders with both hands and giving you a stressed, wide eyed look.

"Boy, there you are ! *Looks you over, and sighs with relief* Good, good, you're alright. Come, sit with me."

You two make your way over to an table he reserved earlier - perks of being a elderly trainer - and he collapses into his seat, gripping his can with enough force you can almost imagine the wood creaking.

"First that fiasco with you disappearing, then meeting with Bloody Witch Morrigan, and now this travesty. I knew Sutalor would be wild, but not like this.

*Sighs*

"Darron, I know you probably want to help out with this mess, but we're better off leaving it to the others to deal with. Something that big, that coordinated and done like a Ghost job...that's Ace Trainer Leagues right there, kiddo. Not something you can easily handle without me giving a heavy Helping Hand. We promised to help save this land, but remember - we're here first on foremost on personal business. We'll help however we can, but we got to mind out limits and keep our eye on the prize. *Scoffs* That, and Cynthia would have my ear for Quiver Dancing around something hot like this without extenuating circumstance - hell, she'd complained enough about me coming here with ya to begin with. I'm older than her, but she's more than a hard ass curmudgeon than I am, bah!"

Well, your teach gave his own take on the situation - Stay Out of It. What's your response?

Aaron can likely tell that Darren is mildly miffed. He does comply, however. "Fair, and you are right that I wanna do something."

Aaron lets out a tired *Sigh* at your peeved attitude, shaking his head.

"Gah, kid, I know you want to help - Arceas knows anyone with decency would too - but we can't be acting Recklessly here. Last thing we need is you getting in over your head in the chaos, or our League starting to breath down our necks for too much 'strong arming' and risking ourselves . Politcs, bah!"

Your mentor goes silent for a few minutes, thinking over what exactly you can do as he rubs his chin, before looking over to fix you in place with one of his patented 'Shut Up and Listen' stares.

"Very well, I got a couple of things you can do that shouldn't be too much. First, we can do some patrols around this Pokemon Center to help settle down these people's fears about the place being another target. If we Encounter anything nasty I'm taking charge and you'll be doing exactly what I say. Alternatively, you can organize a few Pokemon Battles here to help Train yourself and give everyone a distraction. You can handle this by yourself, and have permission to be as Flashly and dramatic as you want to be - heck, that might be preferred, given how jittery as a nervous Bug everyone is. Got to let them loose the energy somehow, and what better way that a good tussle?

"So, which one sounds better to you, boy?"
